Hi @PlkMarudny

Yes we would consider it. We would need to think about it carefully because there might be some places in the library that assume text is on a single line.

Is adding these additional elements to the timescale your only use case for multi line text?

PlkMarudny commented 2 years ago

At the moment - yes.

OK thanks.

I'll keep this issue open while we think about the implementation and gather more feedback.

I'd like to be able to use line breaks in markers. For instance, I'm plotting Buys and Sells, and it would be nice to have something like:

Buy 1250 @ $75.35

Writing it all on one line gets a bit messy. Just a thought!
